A police commander and two other agents were shot down in a pool hall in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico Friday just three of the ten people murdered in the city that night.
The police commander and two other officers were playing pool when gunmen walked into the pool and opened fire on all three.
No one else was injured and the gunmen fled.
Seven other people were killed Friday a man was shot and killed while he was driving with his wife.
Earlier in the week police said two thousand people have been killed in Ciudad Juarez so far this year in drug-related violence.
That despite thousands of soldiers and federal police sent to the city to cut drug violence.
